   REVIEWS
Okay, I got lazy, so I just copied and pasted from my blogger.My D reviews:

EDEN REVIEW
duration: 4:27
comments: Let's start out with Asagi's vocals. THEY WERE AMAZING as usual. They're not as strong as they were on God's Child, but not that soft either. I still love the deep vibrato that he posses. It's just so lovable. This song is rather "old", but I really like it. It uses minimal layering for the vocals. Then again, D doesn't do that much vocal layering. Great harmonizing on the last bit. He doesn't utilize his falsetto like the one in Yami Yori Kurai Doukoku no a Capella to Bara Yori akai Jonetsu no aria. Everyone knows Asagi's voice makes me melt. IT SERIOUS DOES. aha. This song is fairly upbeat, but posses an element of....mystery to it I guess, because I can't seem to describe that certain feeling. A small feeling of somberness I guess. D seems pretty androgenous with some of their songs.Some parts of the song may seem like it'll be slowing down, but it really doesn't.
Now, the instrumental play. I could just imagine Hiroki's face while playing the intro. Making those cute faces that he does...makes me laugh. Hide-zou and Ruiza have done a sweet job on the guitar play. The bass line in this song is incredibly sexy, but I'm still in the dark as to who played. Rena I think. hm yeah. The intro's pretty headbangable. The music in this song isn't too strong, but it ain't soft. Makes me wanna get up and dance. As I haven't found a translation for this song as of yet, I can't judge much on that. But with what I've seen so far, Asagi really measures up to standard with his lyrics.
Overall,this song's really good.
9/10
Could've been stronger though. But then again, it might affect the effect the song has on its listener. This song's pretty sing-a-long-ish because Asagi doesn't go too high, and it can still be sung by people like myself who are absolutely tone-deaf. Still singable IMO. That's why I picked it. hooray.


SHIROI YURI REVIEW
duration: 5:29
comments: This song starts out soft. I think D is using the twin guitar effect here. A bit of strumming done by either Ruiza or Hide-zou, and then Hiroki comes in with the drums. Asagi's voice makes it's presence known by its eerie and distinct sound. I felt shivers run up and down my spine. Very melodic intro, accompanied by Asagi's operatic vocals. A very simple drum line and uber sexy bass line..and Asagi's vocals. aha, okay, no more being biased. The instrumental play is soft, not interferring or overwriting Asagi's vocals. The drums line is toe-tappable. This song makes me sway...literally. Like from side to side. The guitars in this song remind me of the old glamerous days of well, glam rock. Like, uber emo Guns and Roses. ahaha.There's a really sweet guitar solo in here, but I'm not sue who does it. Asagi goes up and down in this one, not too high either. Still pretty singable, if you're brave enough to take it on.
Toward the end Asagi utilizes his falsetto though. This part is my favourite bit. It simply just gives me the chills. oooOo
Overall, this song's pretty okay.
7/10
Not my favourite. But it's ending gets me all the time. And it's very melodic, so it's recommeded for easy listening. The ending somehow makes me wanna cry sometimes. So much emotion..on Ruiza's and Hide-zou's part too. Hiroki and Rena (? I'm pretty sure Rena was still with the band)


eh...yeah.
